Nextel International Inc. (NII) Holdings is the largest digital trunking service provider in Latin America. Thanks to its differentiated service portfolio and top-notch customer service, the operator has emerged as a leading service provider in the region?s lucrative corporate market. During the next few years, NII will aim to maintain this position by selectively expanding its network and targeting new customers, focusing on profitability rather than on accelerated growth.

As mobile operators begin to delve into NII?s territory by launching push-to-talk (PTT) services, NII will have to find other competitive advantages. The operator has proactively moved to defend its strategic position by launching International Direct Connect (IDC), a cross-country PTT service. Once mobile operators are able to replicate this service themselves, we believe NII will be ready to launch a new application that will allow it to maintain a firm grip on its target segment and continue to stay one step ahead of the competition.
